Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing a corn-soybean meal-based diet with an enzyme complex containing amylase, protease and xylanase on the performance, intestinal health, apparent ileal digestibility of amino acids and nutrient digestibility of weaned pigs. In Exp. 1, 108 piglets weaned at 28 d of age were fed one of three diets containing 0 (control), 100, or 150 ppm enzyme complex for 4 wks, based on a two-phase feeding program namely 1 to 7 d (phase 1) and 8 to 28 d (phase 2). At the end of the experiment, six pigs from the control group and the group supplemented with 150 ppm enzyme complex were chosen to collect digesta samples from intestine to measure viscosity and pH in the stomach, ileum, and cecum, as well as volatile fatty acid concentrations and composition of the microflora in the cecum and colon. There were linear increases (p<0.01) in weight gain, gain: feed ratio and digestibility of gross energy with the increasing dose rate of enzyme supplementation during the whole experiment. Supplementation with enzyme complex increased the digesta viscosity in the stomach (p<0.05) and significantly increased (p<0.01) the concentrations of acetic, propionic and butyric acid in the cecum and colon. Enzyme supplementation also significantly increased the population of Lactobacilli (p<0.01) in the cecum and decreased the population of E. coli (p<0.05) in the colon. In Exp. 2, six crossbred barrows (initial body weight: $18.26{\pm}1.21$ kg), fitted with a simple T-cannula at the distal ileum, were assigned to three dietary treatments according to a replicated $3{\times}3$ Latin Square design. The experimental diets were the same as the diets used in phase 2 in Exp. 1. Apparent ileal digestibility of isoleucine (p<0.01), valine (p<0.05) and aspartic acid (p<0.05) linearly increased with the increasing dose rate of enzyme supplementation. In conclusion, supplementation of the diet with an enzyme complex containing amylase, protease and xylanase improved piglet performance. This is likely a result of improvement in nutrient digestibility, volatile fatty acid concentrations and bacteria ratio in the large intestine.

The thermal hydraulic performances of Steam Generator (SG) under both steady and transient operation conditions are of great importance for the safety and economy in nuclear power plants. In this paper, based on our self-developed SG thermal hydraulic analysis code STAF (Steam-generator Thermalhydraulic Analysis code based on Fluent), an improved new version STAF-CT (fully Coupling and Transient) is developed and introduced. Compared with original STAF, the new version code STAF-CT has two main functional improvements including "Transient" and "Fully Three Dimensional Coupling" features. In STAF-CT, a three dimensional energy transferring module is established which can achieve energy exchange computing function at the corresponding position between two sides of SG. The STAF-CT is validated against the international benchmark experiment data and the results show great agreement. Then the U-shaped SG in AP1000 nuclear power plant is modeled and simulated using STAF-CT. The results show that three dimensional flow fields in the primary side make significant effect on the energy source distribution between two sides. The development of code STAF-CT in this paper can provide an effective method for further SG high fidelity research in the nuclear reactor system.

The curcumin method was adopted in this research for quantitative analysis of boron in plants. An experiment if this method is suitable to present conditions of our laboratory led us to the following conclusions. 1. In making ashes the addition of 0.5ml saturated $Ba(OH)_2$ solution to boron $1{\gamma}$. could completely prevent it from volatilizing. 2. The soft glass ware made in Korea was unfit for this experiment because of the differences in quality. The polyethylene cup was desirable for the quantitative analysis of boron.

The drying rate in freeze drying was obtained by experiment of garlic moisture contents depending on the drying time. Freeze drying experiment of garlic juice was carried out in vaccum freeze drier of laboratory scale by backface heating, and a mathematical model is also used to simulate the process of simultaneous heat and mass transfer in freeze drying to compare with experimental data.

This study was aimed at obtaining an ideal gold alloy for dental prothetic. The experiment was on physical characteristics of gold alloy and mixing proportion for proper appliance to living tissues. The most frequently used material in the past for dental prothetic was gold, but recently used are mictures or precious metals and non-precious, which are proved to affect on oral tissues. The experiment was to examine gold alloy over its physical and chemical qualities and to make an ideal type of gold alloy by means of statistic and laboratory research.

This paper presents web-based virtual laboratory system for electronic and digital circuit experiments. Through our virtual laboratory, the learners will be capable of learning the concepts and theories related to circuit experiments and how to operate virtual experimental equipments such as multimeters, function generators, digital oscilloscopes, DC power suppliers and bread board etc. The proposed virtual laboratory system is composed of important components: Principle Classroom to explain the concepts and theories of electronic and digital circuit operations, Simulation Classroom to provide a web-based simulator to the learners, Virtual Experiment Classroom to provide interactive multimedia contents about the syllabus of off-line laboratory class, Assessment Classroom, and Management System. With the aid of the management System every classroom is organically tied together collaboration to achieve maximum learning efficiency. We have obtained several affirmative effects such as high learning standard, reducing the total experimental hours and the damage rate for experimental equipments.

During fabrication process for the large space optical surfaces, the traditional bound abrasive grinding with bronze bond cupped diamond wheel tools leaves the machine marks and the subsurface damage to be removed by subsequent loose abrasive lapping. We explored a new grinding technique for efficient quantitative control of precision CNC grinding for space optics materials such as Zerodur. The facility used is a NANOFORM-600 diamond turning machine with a custom grinding module and a range of resin bond diamond tools. The machining parameters such as grit number, tool rotation speed, work-piece rotation speed, depth of cut and feed rate were altered while grinding the work-piece surfaces of 20-100 mm in diameter. The input grinding variables and the resulting surface quality data were used to build grinding prediction models using empirical and multi-variable regression analysis methods. The effectiveness of the grinding prediction model was then examined by running a series of precision CNC grinding operation with a set of controlled input variables and predicted output surface quality indicators. The experiment details, the results and implications are presented.

An electrospray patterning method has been considered as a new and effective way for controlling very fine droplets. Drop-on-demand patterning for unstained nutrient broth on wafers was newly conducted with an electrospray pulsed jet. The patterns had been made under varying experimental conditions including flow rate, vibration frequency, and translational speed of the electrospray patterning system. In this experiment, especially, variation of nutrient broth droplet was measured under varying flow rate conditions. This new technique has a potential to be applied in biology experiments and hormone medical industry.

Wound healing and antibacterial effects of solcoseryl-micronomicin combination gel on an open wound were studied in mice. A simple model was designed for assessing the effects. Using the model, we compared the efficacy of a combined topical gel of solcoseryl and micronomicin with those gels of solcoseryl or micronomicin alone. From the results of our experiment, the wound healing effect of open wounds by treatment with the combination gel was significantly enhanced when compared with those by treatment with solcoseryl gel or micronomicin gel alone. And the antibacterial effect of the combination gel was higher than those of solcoseryl gel or micronomicin gel alone.
